 | | Particularly, in Zambezia State, which is located at the southern end of the northern plateau, spread in the north of the Zambezi River, the largest international river in the country, the water supply to the population is so poor that only 14% of the people are supplied with drinking water. |
 | | Especially around the hilly areas in eight counties in the north, because there were a series of fierce battles during the civil war, numerous wells were destroyed and left derelict and the residents had to use water from small rivers and fountains nearby. |
 | | As a result of these efforts, it is expected that secure water supply services will be provided for the residents, and this will greatly contribute to enhancing the people's standard of living, preventing water-related diseases and improving the public health environment. |
